I like most of the figures in this wave. But is anyone else going to be swayed by the coin itself? I think it will get me to buy yet another damn R2-D2.

I agree. This is a great wave and it's hard not to not like any of the figures. I know I will pass on R2 and maybe the SBD, but I really want the troopers and the new Mace and Obi-Wan... but the coins look sweet. I liked them way back in the 80s and they are so tempting now.

The assortment will have at least 2x the main characters, and 2x one other figure (not sure which, but I'd say it wouldn't be the Lava Miner and Concept Trooper). Probably will be a Cantina Han repack (j/k). Actually, I'll go with the Galactic Marine!

And the bright side is that we can look for a solid case of Vaders to clog the shelves just as these hit.

But the Vader's only packed in with the coin album, is it not? Meaning it should be a shelf item as opposed to a peg item? That's the impression that I got--that to get the coin album, you have to buy the Vader, too, and vice versa.

Maybe I'm just misreading things (hey, it's early), but I wouldn't think the Vader/coin album would really have any effect on keeping anything else on or off the pegs. . .

I agree with Matt.

According to the Target folks I know, the 2007 basic figures have a whole separate DPCI number than Coin Album Vader does. That means they are on completely different order schedules and a surplus of one shouldn't keep the other from being ordered...
